I have just found out, (I have never had to use my birth certificate so long as I can remember) that my Birth Certificate name, is completely different to the name that I was issued a passport in, my DL in, and every other document on the planet, including my NI number.

Now this happened because I was adopted by my adopted father, and he wanted his surname to also be mine. So I was registered at birth with this. (it is the old style certificate though back in teh 80s.)

Since then, in the 80s, my mum applied for a passport for me and because my adoptive father had died, she asked for her family name to be put on her passport. So i became That family name.I have had my passport name and Driving License, bank accounts etc all in this name for years. But my original Name on my birth certificate is still of my adoptive father.It often complicates things when I am asked to provide this as Identification.

Any ideas on what sort of Fun, I could have with this?

Looking forward to replies

Peace
